In the filing, the company has listed its estimated assets and liabilities in the range between $1 and $10 billion dollars. The company has been trying to avoid bankruptcy for years after it saw a massive decline in sales over the past three years.

Last August, the company announced it was closing 15o of the lowest-performing stores with the hopings of turning around its profit margin.

Those efforts couldn't help save the company from bankruptcy and now the company announced that it will eventually close down all 360 Bed Bath & Beyond stores along with the 120 Buy Buy Baby stores.

All the Bed Bath & Beyond stores, the Buy Buy Baby stores, and the websites for both locations will remain open through bankruptcy.

Bed Bath & Beyond joined Party City and David's Bridal as major retailers to file for bankruptcy in 2023.
